Description

Update on the conflict in Ukraine for August 25, 2024… - Western media admits Ukraine has dangerously overextended itself through its Kursk incursion; - Western media claims Russia is unable to use glide bombs in Kursk because of poor “air-control systems,” however, glide bombs are used primarily to break heavy fortifications which the Western media admits Ukraine is not building in Kursk; - Despite claims that Russia’s response was “disjointed,” Ukraine’s Kursk operation has become a liability, costing it irreversibly lost territory along the actual line of contact; - The more territory Ukraine attempts to hold in Kursk, the more troops and equipment it must divert from the actual line of contact; - Western media reports admit that Russian progress in the Donbass has accelerated since the Kursk incursion began; - Ukraine is not building the type of fortifications required to hold onto Kursk in the long-term with Western officials/analysts admitting that once Russia brings in sufficient reinforcements, uprooting Ukraine is inevitable; - US military assistance to Ukraine continues to shrink, with the most recent package featuring the same items (without quantities noted) as previous packages, suggesting the US is drawing from its insufficient monthly production; For Daily Updates on Ukraine: The Duran (Telegram): https://t.me/thedurancom + YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheDuran/videos Scott of Kalibrated (Telegram): https://t.me/kalibrated + YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Kalibratedwithscott/videos Mark Sleboda (Telegram): https://t.me/TheRealPolitick + Substack: https://marksleboda.substack.com/ References: US Department of Defense - Biden Administration Announces Additional Security Assistance for Ukraine (August 23, 2024): https://www.defense.gov/News/Releases/Release/Article/3883533/biden-administration-announces-additional-security-assistance-for-ukraine/ CNN - Russia’s jamming of US-provided rocket systems complicates Ukraine’s war effort (May 2023): https://edition.cnn.com/2023/05/05/politics/russia-jamming-himars-rockets-ukraine/index.html Lockheed Martin - Ramping Up: Lockheed Martin Steadily Increasing Production of High-Demand Systems (February 2024): https://www.lockheedmartin.com/en-us/news/features/2024/ramping-up--lockheed-martin-steadily-increasing-production-o.html NYT - As Ukraine Pushes Into Russia, Its Next Steps Are Unclear (August 23, 2024): https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/23/us/politics/ukraine-incursion-russia-buffer-zone.html Business Insider - Russia is barely using one of its best weapons against Ukrainian forces in Kursk because it's scared to hit itself, war expert says (August 23, 2024): https://www.businessinsider.com/russia-not-using-glide-bombs-kursk-hit-self-ukraine-expert-2024-8 CNN - Parents hide children from mandatory evacuations as Ukraine says Russia advancing fast on key city (August 23, 2024): https://edition.cnn.com/2024/08/22/europe/pokrovsk-evacuations-eastern-ukraine-intl/index.html CNN - Ukraine’s march into Russia exposes Putin’s crisis management problem (August 23, 2024): https://edition.cnn.com/2024/08/23/world/putin-response-ukraine-kursk-intl/index.html Where to Find My Work: Website: https://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/ Telegram: https://t.me/brianlovethailand Twitter: https://twitter.com/BrianJBerletic Odysee (YouTube alternative): https://odysee.com/@LandDestroyer:8 Rumble (YouTube alternative): https://rumble.com/c/c-1459863 Weibo: https://weibo.com/u/7726044004 ไบรอัน แฟนคลับ (Facebook): https://facebook.com/BrianThaiFanclub/ Line Group: https://lin.ee/JIxTpKe Gab: https://gab.com/BrianBerletic VK (Facebook alternative): https://vk.com/brianberletic How to Support my Work (and thank you!): Buy Me A Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/TheNewAtlas Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/landdestroyer PromptPay: 0851547235 Cryptocurrency Donations: Ethereum (ETH): 0xee6ed93c3adc474450011e9af22939a0b9b312c7 BitCoin (BTC): 1AfGnbmHxA6cy9YKUSxysXvpJPyecpBKrr Monero (XMR): 845TCXx3pchSBXuDL7FHG679gbWD2wkHS6MJxuq7jFVsVFj7T6xsry747uhhGZUdkaRXbbrMfo5c8RnGfzGZ13KxQUdHVLR

Many people are not evacuating from Pokrovsk because they are waiting for Russia to liberate them.

Why is it believed that humiliation of Russia in western opinion is of importance to Russians? All that should be important to Russians are the reality on the ground and in every day life.

Distance between Russian line and Pokrowsk - 15 minutes of T-90 tank ride. But Russians are methodical - attrition of Ukrainian army plus territorial gains with minimal casualties.

Ukraine is on its last breath before failing hard, while at the same time trying to convince the west and NATO to get fully involved in the conflict . It's not gonna end well

Just like Putin, patience and analysis of the situation is key to reporting. Dont get fooled by the hype, analyze what the situation is and act accordingly. Thanks Brian for your work.
